PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1941. b. U tt U Ik ELKS LODGE AIDS 140 LIEN SOUGHT Ernest Scott, exalted ruler of Medford lodge of Elks, today announced a plan under which all Elk lodgea in Oregon are assisting the U. S. navy recruit ing service to enlist 140 young men In either regular navy ser vice or the naval reserve. At a date to be designated later, the 140 youths will be called to Portland where they will be assembled In the Elks temple to take their oath of alle giance in a group, Mr. Scott ex plained. Immediately after be ing sworn Into the navy, they will go to the naval training station at San Diego, where they will form one complete com pany that will remain intact during the period of training, he related. The group will be known as the Oregon Elks com pany. In connection with the Elks , campaign, Jack M. Carpenter, in charge of the recruiting station in the Medford federal building, called attention to the recent opening of 23 new navy schools throughout the country. Basic subjects taughfin the schools in clude ship and aviation radio, aviation sheet metal, Diesel en gine, cooking, baking, printing photography, deep-sea diving hospital work and dental techni cian training, Mr. Carpenter said. Members of the Medford Elks lodge are prepared to furnish authoritative information on en listments in the navy and naval reserve, with special reference to vocational training, types of schools open to eligible recruits, pay, and promotion and retire ment privileges. "There is a great need for specialists in the expanding navy and the navy is in a position to offer young men who enlist now either a career or, as In the case of the naval reserve, emergency service," Mr. Scott said. "This training will prepare them for earning a livelihood in civilian life or for continuing their ca reer in the navy. We urge every young man to investigate now." Consumption of scrap iron and steel in the United States during the first four months of this year totaled 17,518,000 tons, nearly 6,000,000 more than . in the same period of 1940. BLOX 0 Big.

At the annual safe drivers' dinner In Portland, W. G. Julier (right), safety engineer for the Gilmore concern, presented 10 year gold watch awards to six Oregon division employes who had completed the first 10-year period In an intensive safe driv ing program without an acci dent. In addition to the 10 year safe drivers, there were three employes who had com pleted five consecutive years without a traffic mishap, and therefore received the five-year SUSPECTS NABBED Douglas E. Jones, 19, of the Butte Falls district was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff William Grenbemer and charged with burglary not In a dwelling. Jones allegedly entered the sum mer cabins of P. K. Nalley and Ike Smith, in the Butte Falls sector, and stole a phonograph, cooking utensils, furniture and dynamite. The deputy sheriff states Jones told him the ex plosive was used In dynamiting a stream with poor result". Jones, employed In brush pil ing, will be arraigned in Justice court today. A number of summer cabins In the county have been robbed the past winter and spring, ac cording to the sheriff's office. Apprehension of the robbers Is difficult because from 10 days to two months generally elapses before discovery of the theft, due to owners making infrequent visits to the cabins. The Nalley and Smith cabin burglaries were committed about a month ago. More than 15 percent of army draftees are 22 years old, con stituting the largest singly age i group.

According to Julier, 62 employes of the Gil more company were this month presented with the 10-year gold watch awards, while 25 members of the personnel received the five-year gold plaque. The large number of five and 10 consecutive year awards is all the more remarkable, points out the Gilmore executive, when it is considered that every traf fic mishap, even though it re sult In no more than a scratched fender, is recorded. To set up an even closer goal for all employes, including the newest members of the organiza tion, a yearly reward of a bronre pocket piece is included In the safety program. Julier reports that there were 335 of these annual awards distributed this month to personnel of the Gilmore company.

I . 1 - I this war; it must be a never- ending nightmare to the veteran of 1914-18 who thought he had it all figured out in advance. Horses ride in airplanes where by the book they should be charging across the terrain (Hol land, May, 1940); tanks in thun dering fleets wheel and collide in the awful summer heat of the Egyptian desert, where Arab steeds and warriors in bright robes should have the field of battle to themselves (Salum, June, 1941). Now in the never-never land of Syria, ex-ally kills ex-ally. because both, in a sense, are combatting their original enemy, one in continuing battle, the other In the morass of defeat. The new battle of Salum sees massed tanks in action on a basis of equality which should have prevailed, but did not, at Cambral and at Arras just a year ago. Carried thousands of miles from home to the blazing sands, these iron monsters of Germany and Britain sweep like men o' war in battle line across the vast desert, unhindered and unhar assed for many the mile before they find the point of attack. Then the battle explodes. The ensuing torment of the fighters within these massive broilers, afire in the African sun and reel ing under the shock of shellfire, challenges the imagination.

In Syria the French fight the melancholy battle of despera tion and their resistance is stub born and hard against an assail ant who is not an enemy and has not much heart for his work. Why this fight against the Brit ish invading columns is so fierce can be explained by a new re port of the collaboration terms between France and her Ger man conqueror. According to this story the Germans laid down the rule that it was up to the French to use their own men to defend their own territory; but, that once such territory was success fully Invested by the British, the Germans would in their own good time move In for keeps and the French never would get the territory back. Thus the soldiers of Vichy are spurred to arms not only by the physical fact that a British in vader is on their soil, but by what, for them, is far worse the specter of Irretrievable loss of their empire to the Germans who stamp, already, across half their homeland. Thus they make use of what weapons they can even the airplanes of the con queror. Department stores in Wash ington, D. C, are more than 20 percent higher than a year ago because of the influx of de fense workers.
